Columbia, April 27 ?Upholding the legality of the Laney-Odom Fire Insurance act, the supreme court in a decision tonight refused to sign an order enjoining the insurance commissioner and the Attorney Genera! from enforcing the terms of the law. The petition of David B Henderson, a Charleston insurance man, for an injunction, was dismissed by the court. The opinion was written by Associate Justice Fraser. "The petition is dismissed and the injunction refused," concluded an order which was signed by all of the justices of the supreme court. The State officials were represented in the case by Thos H Peeples, Atterney General. The anti-compact law, which was passed by the last General Assembly, will continue in force. Since the passage of the law more than sixty fire insurance companies have withdrawn from the State. A Symbol of Health.

One Person Killed and Several Injured by Auto Skidding. Orangeburg, April 30:?Ashley E Merrimon, of Sumter, was killed; Julian Wolfe, of this city, was seriously injured, and several others were hurt when an automobile ran into a ditch and struck a tree, about two miles from Rowesville and seven from Orangeburg, this afternoon about 6 o'clock. A party of six young men and three young ladies was returning to Orangeburg in a large touring car. The road was exceptionally good, and it is said that the car was running at a rapid rate of speed when it became unmanageable. It seems that the brakes were applied, causing the car to skid into the tree. Besides Messrs Merrimon and Wolfe, the car contained the following: Sidney 0 Seignious, who was severely cut on the leg and face; Hammond Crum, of Denmark, slightly bruised; Eddie Blackmon, cut on arm and face bruised; R H Jennings, Jr, reported unhurt; Miss Annie Lee Crum, one rib broken; Miss Georgia Manning, of Clio, several teeth knocked ? out, and Miss Celeste George, of Lexington, who was unhurt. The auto was demolished. Julian Wolfe suffered a broken leg and it is feared that he is also internally injured. He was taken to a hospital in Columbia tonight, ' It seems that Mr Merrimon was instantly killed. He was caught under the car and was dead when efforts were made to rescue him. His skull was crushed. He was a law student at the University of South Carolina and was spending the weekend iq Orangeburg as a member of a house party. He was a graduate of the Citadel and formerly resided in this city. He was a nephew of ' the Rev B M Foreman, who resided ' here for a number of years, but is now making his home in North Au: gusta. Whooping Lough.

J! \ j LATEST WAR SUMMARY. ^ London, April 29:?Major Gen Charles Townshend, commander of the British forces besieged at Kut Ei-Amara, Mesopotamia, by Turkish forces since last December, hsa surrendered. This information was contained in a British official statement issued this afternoon. The following official announcement was made: "After a resistance protracted for 143 days and conducted with a gallonfr? arirl Ervr+ifnHn u?ill ho laiiii j auu iwi 11 cuuv. tuuv ??ui ww forever memorable, Gen Townshend has been compelled, by the final exhaustion of his supplies, to surrender. "Before doing so he destroyed his guns and munitions. "The force und?r him consists of 2,970 British troops, of all ranks and services, and some six thousand Indian troops and their followers." The eventual surrender of Gen Townshend had been expected since the failure of the forces under Lieut Gen Gorringe and Gen Keary to break through the Turkish position at Sannayaat, just below Kut-elAmara, on the Tigris River, and the unsuccessful attempt to send the bloskaded army provisions by steamers. It had been touch and go with the small British force for many days. The position of Kut-el-Amara, which is on a peninsula extending into the Tigris River, made it impossible to send supplies by air, as there was no landing place for aeroplanes. The forces which attempted to relieve Gen Townshend met with almost continual misfortunes. On several occasions, just when it was believed they were on the point of success, rising waters made further progress impossible. Gen Townshend was driven to surrender to avoid starvation of his force. A recent official Turkish communication said that the position of the British at Kut-el-Amara was critical, and that they were expecting to receive small supplies of food by aeroplane. An official statement received yesterday from London showed that a last effort to send supplies to the garrison had failed. It was announced that a ship laden with supplies had been sent up the Tigris, but that it had been grounded about four miles east of the city. Less than a score of miles away, on the banks of the Tigris, below the city, is a relief army which for months had been attemnting to reach the besieged forces. A few weeks ago several victories were announced and hope ran high in England that the mission would succeed. Of late, however, the Turks' resistance had increased, and. aided by floods, they have been able to hold the British in check. The surrender of Gen Townshend is one of the few instances in the war in which an entire fighting unit of important numbers has laid down its arms. It is one of the largest bodies of troops of the Entente allies which have surrendered, and larger than any other captured French or British force. The Mesopotamian campaign has been one of the most difficult the British army has undertaken during the war. The torrid climate and lack of fresh water, together with the difficulties of transport, made great calls on the endurance >f the troops. Moreover, the positions held by the Turks below Kut-elAmara. entrenched and strongly fortified, were very formidable. The original expedition was composed in part of Indian troops, but the relief force, for the most part, was made up of men from England and the colonies. Card of Thanks. Editor County Record:?
